This Women’s Month, I had the honor of joining Jay Costa on the Behind Enemy Lines podcast for a powerful women’s panel. We explored diverse journeys into the Second Amendment space—from someone raised around firearms to a young nurse inspired by a teacher, and my own path as a Newark woman stepping in to change the narrative. I shared how, not seeing anyone like me, I became the representation I wished for. My mission remains: educate, encourage, empower, repeat. I’m just ge

When life threw a curveball—a blizzard—at the end of 2A Freedom Fest, I stayed open to opportunity. That’s when Women for Gun Rights invited me to WOFT, a top-notch personal protection training institute. What began as a shelter from canceled flights turned into a transformative experience. I didn’t just observe—I jumped in. It’s one thing to talk about self-protection; it’s another to pressure-test it. Under real stress, I found my training wasn’t just theory—it was instinct

Hey everyone! I just got back from 2A Freedom Fest, where I was invited as a guest speaker—one of the newer faces there, but so honored. It was an amazing opportunity to connect with advocates from all over the country and take my place on that stage. I spoke about what it truly means to be an advocate.

I’m a woman from Newark who started shooting because the trigger was quieter than the chaos of the world . This wasn’t just a calendar. It was me standing ther

Valentina Green got involved in the shooting sports and she noticed there weren’t too many folks like her participating. The instructor/activist changed that by extending opportunities to other minorities. Advertisement Green, a trained firearms instructor, did not get started because she was interested in self-defense. It wasn’t fear or any other factor, she said, that brought her to the shooting sports. Green was looking for a stress reducer and she decided to give shooting

The Second Amendment wasn’t written for me. It was written to keep me chained-to make sure the only way I died was by design.  Slave codes first, black codes later, then mass incarceration. All gun control is a receipt stamped racist,  But here’s the thing: second chances exist. We remember, we don’t have amnesia. But every second chance must come with receipts. You better show policy change, , you better show me investment in our communities not just photoshoots. Naturally A
